CHINA REFUSES W.H.O FOR UNDERTAKING THE INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE REALITY BEHIND THE ORIGIN OF CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK:
Beijing has started an investigation to find out the origin of the coronavirus outbreak so WHO also wanted to help China to find out the origin of the deadly virus. However, China refused to take help from the WHO, and WHO finally remains uninvited to the investigation. In recent times, China has been top-secretive regarding the measures it has taken to prevent the outbreak of the virus from the Wuhan city. China has been criticized a lot recently because they have still not shared the details regarding the halt of this deadly virus. Many news channels worldwide also believe that Beijing allegedly avoided telling the world that coronavirus is so infectious and its severity. It is also believed that people who reported about the seriousness of the disease were then punished by the higher authorities in China.

CRUCIAL THINGS STILL TO BE COVERED REGARDING THE OUTBREAK OF CORONAVIRUS:
Dr. Gauden Galea who is the WHO representative reported to Sky News that we believe that certain national investigations might be happening at the current stage but WHO is uninvited to join at the moment. He further stated that the WHO is urging China along with the health commission and other higher authorities. He also explained that it is essential to find out the exact origin of this disease. It is also crucial to find out about the human-animal interface and it needs to be thoroughly studied. The WHO representative also explained that our priority is to find out as much as possible regarding this infectious virus in order to prevent the recurrence of any such pandemics.

DELAYED RESPONSE OF CHINA REGARDING THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS OUTBREAK:
It is also claimed by the US intelligence officials that in the very beginning China did not point out to the world that this virus is so contagious and it can cause deadly infections. It is because of this reason that the world is blaming China that they should have expressed in the very beginning regarding the seriousness of this outbreak. White House also stated that it is important to understand the fact that we need to find out the origin of this deadly outbreak so that the world can respond immediately to such pandemic and take informed rapid-response attempts in the upcoming future to such infectious and deadly outbreaks.

INAPPROPRIATE STATISTICS BY CHINESE AUTHORITIES:
Dr. Galea, WHO representative said that it is surprising that from January 2nd to January 16th, 2020, there were 41 cases reported according to the published statistics. He also added that it might be the matter of difficulty which they would have faced in findings regarding the outbreak and COVID-19 infected patients. He assumes that is this any question or a definition and he says he cannot even speculate. He also explains that during this serious epidemic some growth of the virus must have happened and it is unlikely that the number of infected patients was only 41 during 14 days. It seems impossible with the nature of this deadly infection. He also questions China that they must answer about the fact that were there more cases and this must be answered by China as it seems an inappropriate number of infected COVID-19 patients.

CRITICISM FOR WHO:
WHO has been constantly criticized by US Government and higher authorities that how did they accept the inappropriate statistics from China. President Trump also stated that China will try anything they can to ensure that President Trump loses his seat in the elections in the upcoming year. He also said to Reuters that China will do whatever is possible so that they can have him lose the race. Scientists and researchers worldwide are also accusing China that the virus might have originated in Wuhan’s lab. The US President has also reportedly attacked Chinese authorities regarding the handling of this coronavirus outbreak. The state of Missouri is also suing the Chinese Government and accusing it of doing less in terms of halting the spread of coronavirus. US President Donald Trump also repeatedly accused China and claimed that if China is unknowingly responsible for the spread of this outbreak then they must face the consequences.
